Kinect is coming out this week in Australia, so you know what that means! A princely deluge of fitness games, sports compilations, and loads and loads of Dance games.
On the awesome side of things comes Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. I managed to spend about three hours with this game at the weekend, and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. One game I haven’t had the chance to check out, however, is Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, but I’ve heard nothing but good things. All signs point to this being the best Need for Speed game this generation.
So… on to the list.
